    King is based on chess. In chess, the king can summon other pieces to instantly defend him, hence why Saitama and company happen to always be around to defend him. King is probably unaware of his ability to do this and victims of his ability are oblivious to being effected by it. A small scale reality warping ability that triggers when he experiences extreme fear and makes it impossible for him to truly be harmed by what is scaring him. He pretty much has the power to unknowingly trigger miracles.

    What i love about King is that he is a great supporting character. He is a friend to Saitama and he actually grows, he is still full of fear but is trying to the right thing and help the other Heroes to the best of his ability.
    Even with the power that he possess he is the "normal dude", he doesn't have super strength, can fly or is a pysiker like Tornado. He is the opposite of Saitama, a Hero out of obligation wanting to be a shut-in instead of a shut-in wanting to be a Hero for Fun.

    You know, King may actually have a power, it just happens to be utterly useless in a fight.

      Actually, I think his power has something to do with drawing a super hero that can handle the situation. Even in his flash back where he went out to buy a video game and was attacked by a monster, a hero showed up and took care of it. (I think it was shown to be Saitama), but that's not the only instance of that happening. He mentions always being attacked by monsters but always having someone else swoop in at the last second and he somehow gets the credit.
      King's ability might be to literally summon a hero strong enough to defeat whatever foe is present lol

    The artist who draws the One Punch Man Manga has a talent for showing us, the readers, King as others see him. To the other heros or the general public, King is shown as a a brooding figure of limitless power, restrained but intimidating. Even Tatsomaki deems him worthy of a approving smile. To monsters and criminals he is seen as a towering menace of inescapable Doom. To Saitama, he's a tall, skinny dude he knows who's frustratingly good at video games.

    I think King's power goes deeper than his intimidation. I think his true power if the power of leadership, something that Saitama lacks. Saitama has infinite strength, yet no leadership or recognition, while King has no strength, but amazing leadership qualities and attention. This beautiful contrast shows the dichotomy between strength and leadership, and really serves to make even an unexpected character like King the other side of Saitama's coin.

    King is that low level paladin you guys let roll with you at end game. Even though he's not much of a fighter or a healer, his auras buff and inspire allies and weaken and demoralize enemies. He's just racking up kills based on assists and accidental killing blows. Support is still support and without him, stuff would still be more difficult💖💗 I love King and his empathy is a great counter for Saitama's apathy. King and Mumen Rider inspire and bring joy to our Caped Baldy's life. I teared up when Mumen Rider got saved and he wrote him a fan letter and bought him ramen, and when King recognized him and apologized, kneeled before him, and begged for forgiveness. Those 2 and Genos are straight 💯 with Saitama.

      there is something called fight or flight. but there is another reaction which is freezing. King gets so afraid he can't move a muscle. if he speaks or does anything while afraid, he does it extremely strained. his reputation and scary demeanor enhance his intimidation factor. basically him being paralyzed by fear gives him his "powers".

    He’s Siatama’s foil. One is strong, with no presence, the other is weak, with an overwhelming presence.
    On top of that his name implies that he is the “King”, like in chess, all pieces attempt to kill him, but all the surrounding pieces try to defend him. He is the only person in the universe that always has someone or something intervening for his benefit. This anomaly alone is his power. It’s just not blatant like the others.

      Plus, just like in chest, the king can't go into spots, where it will outright die the next turn.
      If there is any way to save the king, no matter the sacrifice, something will have to block the path.
      I really feel like that is truely his power. Even if he didn't do his whole act, he would still somehow be saved.

    I think me and my friends described it the best, King DOES have powers, but those powers are infact INCREDIBLY subtle, he has luck that is as powerful as people think he is strong and at the same time bad luck the same way, think about it, his bad luck draws all monsters in but then his good luck ALWAYS seems to have some sort of fluke or insane miracle fly in at the last moment to slay the monster, he is essentially a super hero but without the ability to control or dictate his luck/unluck aura.

      Agree. I don’t see a pendulum of good and bad luck. The getting the scars on his eye sucked, but having the scars solidified his legend. Spilling his lie to saitama sucked, but that honest reunion completed the yin/yang nature of their power sets. Think of all the times King was asked to help, but turned it down. That fuels his legend. If instead all of that went to saitama, it would fuel his boredom and annoyance.

    I'm convinced that if King got his hands on a real life remote controll robot like Metal Knights bots, he will obliterate any monster.

    Honestly, if King had a game-pad remote based robot, his gaming skills alone would place him in Class S

    Credit to the animators at 13:50. They know what they were doing. The angle, the composition, the lighting. It all blends together to create a beautiful canvas on which to tell their story.

    give king a mech controlled from far away
    he'll play it like in video games and beat everyone

      He would be beast if they told him it was a video game but he could only be a hero in game and the mech suit can't harm anything not evil it would be a cool idea or if he starts controlling metal knight suits or sum but his luck power alone is pretty op

    King’s real power is to instill fear into others from his own anxiety. He is a true hero for sure

    King isnt a regular guy though. In the OPM universe, what you do repeatedly becomes your superpower (obsessed with cars? become a car monster. eat lots of crab? crablante) King's power is his bluff. he's actually killed people with it!

  • @xpndblhero5170

    I'd love to see King in one of the new battle suits like Mumen Rider in the new ark... Just so he can have his well earned 15 minutes of fame, after all that crap he's been through I can see him being able to use the suits better than anyone else because of his gaming background. 😁

    In many regards King reminds me of the chess figure.
    By himself he is quite weak, but the other pieces are his strength.

  • @RDMatija

    The "sensing of power" was explained as well, when the boy took his and saitamas reading, he said "king too strong for the scale to show" and "saitama too weak for the scale to show". he is "so strong that they cant even sense it".

    I love this guy. He’s made only a hero because he’s in the right place after Saitama ends a battle and he gets the credit, plus is stare no matter how he really feels along with this reputation scares most villains. Luck might be his power.

    I would have loved if King had been in that king arc starting situation like: "Ow You only want data" and wouldnt have fought at all because the monster only wanted data. Maybe had the secret from Saitama a bit longer. Much potential for drama and such for longer.

  • @mario97br

    Everyone saying Kings ability is luck, while they very clearly show, that it’s „character control“. He is like the writer. Reality becomes a video game, where he unleashes a 99 power combo at will with the sweetest character after being kicked in the corner. He is just as powerful outside the game, as inside, he just doesn’t know. His heart is just smashing the buttons of reality, instead of his fingers.

    From what ive seen. King does have a power. It is his flawless execution of a pacifist run for his anime. Sure he may not have any real fighting ability. But as long as his stats say 0 kills/knockouts he's on track.

  • @wolfzend5964
    @wolfzend5964 Год назад +1

    I feel King's true skills are essentially deception, tactics, luck and morale/hope boosts for everyone around him.
    This coincides with the King Piece/ player since Chess involves tactics on the board, deceiving your opponents to work around them and deal fatal blows and some luck, plus the game isn't over until your King piece is taken.

    luck, king has the ultimate power of luck, hes always there where he needed to be (where someone can save his life and win no matter what the situation is) and hes always win in what hes good at which is games. he is one of those heroes who is almost impossible to kill since the universe will find a way for him to survive. if king ever fights for his life, something will happen that will tilt the odds towards him.
